Which musician, band, song or genre inspired you most as you grew up?

@mollydotcom wow. that's a difficult one. there's lots throughout different ages. ani difranco sticks out in a couple (HS/college/after)

@tapps Ooh, Ani - ever see her live? I didn't know who she was when I did, and now I can't even remember who she was there to open for!

@mollydotcom YES! several times. first time i actually went to germany to see the show. she's a true artist and keeps reinventing herself :)

@tapps Wow! How cool. Ani is an extraordinary musician - particularly interested in her guitar work because once upon a time I did that too.

@mollydotcom my favorite is her writing style. she has such a way with words, i'm completely jealous. :) #notatalentofmine #notevenclose
